Red Velvet Cupcakes

One of the most popular desserts sold for Valentine’s Day is Red Velvet Cupcakes.

Red Velvet Cupcakes

It seems that the cupcake sales for red velvet cupcakes go through the roof on Valentine’s Day. So, in the name of Cupid, I will be happy to add to the red velvet cupcake obsession.

Testing different red velvet cupcake recipes was definitely fun and the kids enjoyed every last cupcake. Each of the recipes I made were o.k. but this last cupcake recipe was the one they liked the best.

This recipe is from Cook’s Country. I liked that it came with helpful tips. This always makes me happy and it gives me a better understanding as to how, what and why the recipe should come together. I’m not much of a scientist but I do like having cooking and baking tips that can make a recipe turn out the way it should be.

TIP:The buttermilk and vinegar makes the cake extra tender by reacting with the baking soda. The amount of cocoa used adds a darker color than other recipes that yield a brighter red color; and, of course, the cake has more of a chocolate flavor. Use liquid food coloring* rather than gel.

Whenever a recipe is easy and turns out just the way it should it’s a keeper for me. This is the one red velvet cupcakes recipe that will stay in my recipe box so I can make them for any day to make it special and on Valentine’s Day.
